10 Dumbest Predictions About Star Wars: The Force Awakens

7. Max Von Sydow Is An Elderly Boba Fett

Another big fan theory going around is that veteran sci-fi actor Max Von Sydow is playing an elderly Boba Fett in The Force Awakens. Although there's no doubt that the mighty Mr Von Sydow could carry the role with aplomb, there€™s no chance that this one will come true. People seem to be forgetting that the prequel trilogy remains canon. If Bobba Fett is still alive, then, he would look exactly like Temuera Morrison €“ the actor who played Jango Fett in Attack of The Clones. Let€™s not forget that Bobba is a clone of Jango, and he€™s not capable of transforming from a hunky New Zealand-born actor into a skinny Swedish man. As much as we€™d all like to forget the prequels, The Force Awakens can€™t just ignore them. A different rumour €“ claiming that Von Sydow is playing a village elder on the desert planet Jakku - seems more plausible. That theory states that Von Sydow€™s wise old hermit character is one of the few people who knows where Luke Skywalker is hiding out. That€™d explain why Kylo Ren and Han Solo both head to Jakku early on in the film (as glimpsed in the trailers). That might not be true, either, but it seems more plausible than the Boba Fett theory.
